I don’t think it’s possible not to make a statement when you incorporate patterns into your wardrobe. I am a pattern enthusiast and will stalk every magazine ad, any cool printed pattern, and any well dressed mannequin in search for the perfect blouse and the perfect outfit. I once found a horse printed blouse at Forever 21 almost 4 years ago and I was hesitant about paying $17 dollars for it.  Yeah, that’s right $17! I think I would cry if I never bought it because I’ve yet to find a similar one at that great of a price. And I will probably cry the day it needs to be thrown out.
